For anyone chasing a better breakfast, perfectly creamy scrambled eggs do not have to be complicated. A simple whisk and the right finishing touch can take them from ordinary to restaurant-worthy.
According to Gordon Ramsay, the ingredient that makes the biggest difference is not one many home cooks would instinctively reach for: crème fraîche. The chef uses it to lift scrambled eggs with a richer, smoother finish.
On Ramsay’s official website, crème fraîche is credited with giving the eggs an “extra creamy texture.” The recipe is also refreshingly straightforward, with his version coming together in just six simple steps.
There may be a little more to like about the ingredient, too. Mob.co.uk notes that crème fraîche can bring richness to a range of dishes and may provide calcium and probiotics that support gut health, although portion size still matters.
The site explains that while crème fraîche can add a silky, velvety quality to food, its benefits should be balanced against possible downsides. It contains calcium and probiotics, but it is also high in fat, which may not suit every person’s diet or health goals.
Mob.co.uk adds that the best approach is to consider your own nutritional needs before using it regularly. Fat does not need to be avoided altogether, but anyone trying to cut down can usually find reduced-fat crème fraîche in larger supermarkets, offering a lighter option that still comes close to the same indulgent taste.
